…..You may have seen the new bike road right next to the N-332 which is faboulous for all cyclists in the area. It starts at connection of Los Balcones with the N-332 all the way through to Mil Palmeras ! I’ll have to get on the bike & start cycling, as I’ve only been up to Playa Flamenca. Careful if you are a walker though as the cyclists come by very fast!
It’s great & helps such a lot as you couldn’t hardly walk paralel to the N-332.
Tell us your experiences….

This year the Ayuntamiento in Orihuela is pleased to announce that there will be a St Patrick’s Day Festival held on the parking area near the Mercadona at Playa Flamenca from the 16th to the 18th of March. This will be a mix of exhibition, market and fiesta! The celebration is organized in conjunction with the town hall of Orihuela and will include food, children’s play area, Irish dancing, entertainment, music, market stalls etc. There will be something for everyone and hopefully this will become an annual event.
Saint Patrick’s Day is the annual feast day which celebrates St. Patrick, one of the patron saints of Ireland. The feast day is generally celebrated on March 17th. Although the day is a national holiday in Ireland, it is also widely celebrated by parades and parties throughout the world, not just by the Irish but by an increasing number of non-Irish as well. A common slogan for the day is ‘Everyone’s Irish on March 17th’ and everybody loves a party!
Every year there is a massive parade in New York to celebrate the day. This is usually watched by more than two million spectators and has around 150,000 marchers participating. In Chicago they dye the Chicago River green and in Savannah, Georgia, the fountain waters are dyed green. In many bars in the United States they also serve green beer together with ‘green’ food on the day. Worldwide it is also an excuse to try out Irish beverages such as Guinness, Bailey’s, Magner’s, Irish Whiskey etc. All in all, the day is a celebration party and everybody is invited!
Exite radio will be providing the entertainment throughout the event with a mixture of live broadcasts, their presenters playing the best mix of music and live acts, on stage, including local talents such as Rob Bloomer as Bono, Andy McBride as Rod Stewart, Angie Norris as Kylie, plus original performers like The Monos, Shay, Layla and Josh, Charlie Prince and much, much more! Not only that, but the Kingsbury Academy of Dance will be filling the gaps with a variety of performances throughout the day.
The whole event is sure to get packed, so get along early to get a good spot.
BENNECKE´s newest and possibly cleverest service so far is called Garantia de Alquiler. But what exactly is that and how does it help you as a landlord?
GARANTIA DE ALQUILER is Spanish for Guarantee of Rent. It is a document that is enclosed as an annex in our rental contracts.
What is that good for? To quickly solve any non-performances that arise in the contractual relation between owner and tenant in the of duration of the rental contract as well as its possible extensions, without the need to be present themselves, or the need of a lawyer or attorney. GARANTIA DE ALQUILER is a service of the Spanish Court of Economic Arbitration of Right and Equity that has been created exclusively for this purpose.
How does it work? The Garantia de Alquiler requires a one-off payment of 58 €. It must be signed by all the parties that intervene. Once signed it covers the complete period of the rental. It is not necessary to renew it. Only in case of non-performance we will get in touch with the Court of Arbitration.
The retroactive character of the Garantia de Alquiler allows it to incorporate this form at any moment of the duration of the contract.
The Garantia de Alquiler is recognized by various institutions nationally and internationally. The Bank of Spain proposed the Rental Guarantee Arbitration Court as one of the most effective measures to significantly reduce the time to execute an eviction. It manages to avoid the damage caused by delays in the justice system. Each case is tried within 30 days, counting from its inception until sentencing. If it is delayed even one day, the Court of Arbitration will advancing the amounts claimed to the plaintiff.
In short with the Garantia de Alquiler and BENNECKE earning money through renting your property is now safer and easier than ever. If you are interested in renting out your property long or short term call us on (+34) 965 714 362 or write an email to post@bennecke.com
